2009 Columbia Rediviva Phinny Hill Vineyard Estate Grown Horse Heaven Hills 76% Cabernet Sauvignon & 24% Syrah 2009 Columbia Rediviva phinny hill vineyard estate grown horse heaven hills 76% cabernet sauvignon & 24% syrah Vineyard: The Columbia Rediviva is a captivating and exotic blend from Washington State comprised of two classic varietals: cabernet sauvignon and syrah. At Buty, we were the first Washington winery to focus on blends of cabernet sauvignon and syrah as deluxe wines. Sourced exclusively from our estate-grown vines at Phinny Hill Vineyard, the Columbia Rediviva grows from an historic Washington site—the east face of Phinny Hill by the Columbia River. The cabernet and syrah vines are planted there in silt-loam soils, above free-draining basalt cobblestones from pre-Ice Age rivers. Our blocks are on the leeward and east-facing slope of the hilltop, where they are protected from the forceful Columbia River winds. We sought out this site specifically for producing Columbia Rediviva. We selected all the trellising and pruning design for the cabernet vines, and custom-planted the syrah to our choice of clones and rootstock. Our 9-acre block of Phinny Hill is farmed 100 percent organically, and will complete the three-year organic certification process in 2012. Phinny Hill consistently ripens red varietal grapes with classical sugar, acid and tannin structures. Our Columbia Rediviva was the name of the ship that Captain Robert Gray sailed up the mouth of the, then unnamed, river while searching for the elusive Northwest Passage in 1792. As the river that connects all of the vineyards we work with at Buty, the Columbia River is a lifeline we honor as the namesake of our Columbia Rediviva wine. Vintage & Harvest: Although the spring of 2009 was cool, a hot September finish brought big ripe flavors to the vintage. At the same time, the ripe tannins produced were complemented by generous acids from the long, cool spring. Flowering occurred the week of June 15th, with veraison finishing during a dry summer that saw highs only in the 90s. No rain fell in the Horse Heaven Hills from veraison until harvest, which began October 8th, 110 days after flowering. This length of time for fruit to develop on the vine is equivalent to the finest vintages of Bordeaux cabernet sauvignon. The cabernet has Brix of 25.0°, a pH of 3.5 and total acidity of 8.2. The syrah, (which was harvested three days earlier than the cabernet), had one more gram of acid than the cabernet. Color was abundant in the must, seeds were brown and flavors were deep and ripe in both the varieties, yielding this classically built wine. Winemaking: After de-stemming, the uncrushed fruit was gravity-transferred to wooden Taransaud fermentation tanks. We fermented for 21 days on skins allowing generous extract. The free-run cabernet selected for this bottling was aged in half-new and half-used Taransaud and Bel Air Château barrels for 20 months. By strict selection of the best lots, our final cellar blend was made from only 50% of the vintage’s best yield, and was bottled unfiltered. Tasting Notes: Rich, ripe fruit and classic high-tone Washington floral notes rise from the glass generously. While this wine is reminiscent of the exceptional 2007 vintage, with its big bold character, what’s different here is the dominance of cabernet and how it shapes the wine. Elements of beetroot and chocolate, as well as darker tones shift the 2009 vintage into familiar cabernet territory. Yet the syrah keeps it brighter than any cabernet can be. The wine smells ripe and inviting, and while the oak presence shows its reserve quality, the oak is a complement, perfectly supporting the compelling fruit and flower perfume. A generous attack is followed by a mid-palate filled with power, fruit and fine grained tannins, all supported by abundant acidity, which keeps the palate clean and leads to a persistent fruit and flower finish. This young wine promises a long future. Four hundred and ninety cases were released September 1st, 2012. .

  • 2007Columbia Rediviva Phinny Hill Vineyard Estate Grown, Horse Heaven Hills 52% Syrah & 48% Cabernet Sauvignon
    2007 Columbia Rediviva phinny hill vineyard estate grown, horse heaven hills 52% syrah & 48% cabernet sauvignon The Columbia Rediviva is the growing centerpiece of Buty. It is a captivating and exotic blend from Washington State comprised of two classic varietals. Buty was the first Washington winery to focus on blends of cabernet sauvignon and syrah as deluxe wines. We are pleased others are following our lead in pursuing this lovely blend. 100% sourced from our estate grown vines at Phinny Hill Vineyard, Columbia Rediviva grows from one of the warmest sites in Washington. Phinny Hill consistently grows ripe wines of structurally ideal balance. The cabernet and syrah grow on the east slopes of Phinny Hill in sand- silt-loam soils which lay above layers of cobblestones from the pre-Ice Age rivers. Our blocks are chosen also for the leeward side of the hill where they are permanently protected from the forceful Columbia River winds. The grapes of the Columbia Rediviva were sorted by hand both in the vineyard and again at the winery on hand sorting tables. Then, by strict selection of the best lots, our final cellar blend this vintage was made of only 65% of the vintage yield. The warm summer produced amazingly small berries that were fully ripe in early October. The cabernet sauvignon we hand harvested 112 days after flowering, on October 2nd. The syrah we harvested 112 days after flowering, also on October 2nd. We fermented both the syrah and the cabernet sauvignon in wooden Taransaud tanks. We selected two French coopers and one American cooper to age in primarily new barrels until bottling in July 2009.

  • A Lasting Legacy: the Lewis And
    WashingtonHistory.org A LASTING LEGACY The Lewis and Clark Place Names of the Pacific Northwest—Part II By Allen "Doc" Wesselius COLUMBIA The Magazine of Northwest History, Summer 2001: Vol. 15, No. 2 This is the second in a four-part series discussing the history of the Lewis and Clark expedition and the explorers' efforts to identify, for posterity, elements of the Northwest landscape that they encountered on their journey. Columbia River "The Great River of the West" was on the maps that Lewis and Clark brought with them but the cartographic lore of its upper reach influenced William Clark when he identified the supposed upper fork as "Tarcouche Tesse." British explorer Alexander Mackenzie had called the northern reach of the river "Tacoutche Tesse" in his 1793 journals and map. When the explorers realized they had reached the Columbia River on October 16, 1805, they also discerned that they would not discover the source of the drainage, important as that was for establishing the future sovereignty of the region. After Lewis & Clark determined that there was no short portage route between the Missouri and Columbia rivers, the myth of a Northwest Passage evaporated. The priority for the expedition now was to achieve the primary goal of its mission by reaching the mouth of the Columbia River. American rights of discovery to the Columbia were based on Robert Gray's crossing of the bar in 1792 at the river's discharge into the Pacific. He explored the waterway's western bay and named it "Columbia's River" after his ship, Columbia Rediviva.

Sager, Department of History Departmental Member Dr. Patrick A. Dunae, Department of History Departmental Member In the years between 1789 and 1792 the shores of what is now British Columbia were opened to European scrutiny by a series of mostly Spanish expeditions. As the coastline was charted and explored by agents of European empires, the Pacific Northwest captured the attention of Europe. In order to carry out these explorations the Spanish relied on what turned out to be an experiment in ‗gentle‘ imperialism that depended on the support of the indigenous ―colonized‖. This thesis examines how the Spanish envisioned their imperial space on the Northwest Coast and particularly how that space was shaped through the exploration of the Salish Sea.

  • Winter Quarters by George Davidson This Work by American George Davidson Is One a Series of Paintings in the Museum Collections at the Oregon Historical Society
    Winter Quarters By George Davidson This work by American George Davidson is one a series of paintings in the museum collections at the Oregon Historical Society. Davidson produced the paintings in the mid 1790s upon his return to Boston from a fur trading voyage to the Northwest Coast (1790 - 1793). Davidson was a housepainter and occasional artist when he joined the second fur trade expedition of Captain Robert Gray in late September 1790. Gray’s Columbia Rediviva made the voyage from Boston to the Northwest Coast in eight months, arriving at Clayoquot Sound on Vancouver Island in early June 1791. The expedition passed the summer months trading with the various aboriginal groups up and down the coast. In September 1791, Gray established a “winter quarters” on Clayoquot Sound. He named the wintering site “Adventure Cove” and referred to their encampment as “Fort Defiance.” In the 1970s, historians and archeologists identified the fort’s original location on Meares’ Island. Davidson’s painting depicts the scene at Adventure Cove after the construction of the sloop Adventure, which first mate Robert Haswell would later use for trading along the west coast of Vancouver Island in the spring of 1792. The painting features the Columbia at anchor with her topmasts removed, as well as what appears to be a self-portrait of Davidson showing his illustration of the scene to Captain Gray. In contrast to the illustration Launch of the North West America from John Meares narrative of 1790 in which Native people are prominent, in Davidson’s painting the local indigenous people, the Tla-o-qui-at (Clayoquot), are notable for their absence.
